"The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!"
~Henry Ward Beecher

200. Advice that's actually helpful ; )
~ ~ ever notice that those who have never walked in or near your shoes are the ones most willing to give advice because they know it all.............and those who HAVE, realize they don't know everything and you have to seek them out to ask them for it? Their advice is often valuable ~ ~ and sometimes they have none, but the fact that they've been there and can relate is often the most helpful thing of all.

216. ♫Since I started for the Kingdom,
Since my life He controls,
Since I gave my heart to Jesus,
The longer I serve Him,
The sweeter He grows.
217. ♫The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows,
The more that I love Him, more love He bestows,
218. ♫ Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows,
The longer serve Him, the sweeter He grows,
219. ♫ Ev'ry need He is supplying,
220. ♫ Plenteous grace He bestows,
221. ♫ Ev'ry day my way gets brighter,
The longer I serve Him,
The sweeter He grows.
